CREOLE STUFFED BELL PEPPER

Category: Ground

1 package Dirty Rice Mix
8 Bell peppers
1/2 lb Lean ground beef
1/2 lb Whole hog sausage
2/3 cup Bread crumbs
6 Tbsp Romano cheese, grated

Prepare Dirty Rice according to directions using ground beef and sausage as the meat portion. While Dirty Rice Mix is cooking, wash and core bell peppers and submerge in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes to blanch. Drain and set aside.

To the Dirty Rice, add bread crumbs and 2 tablespoons of the cheese. Blend to make a moist filing. Fill the cavity of each pepper and place in a greased baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining Romano cheese.

Pour Creole sauce over peppers. Cover and bake in oven preheated to 350 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes.
